The UX/UI portfolio that landed me my FIRST JOB

I’ve been a UX product designer for over 4 years now, and the journey hasn’t been easy... AT ALL
In this video, I’ll tell you how I got from a joiner UX designer who couldn’t find a job for a full year to working at one of the most Loved Workplaces and making 6 figures!

Your first UX UI design portfolio will probably be the most depressing process in your career, but if you're a beginner designer, I want you to remember that there's always hope!
In this video, I'll share some helpful tips that helped me along the way in my Product design journey.

Please keep in mind these are only my opinions as a Product UX Designer. I'm one user out of millions and only express my professional yet personal opinions.

If you're a beginner UX designer, I highly encourage you to adopt critical thinking about apps, always think beyond the interface, and try to understand UX patterns and behaviors that make an app or a product good (or bad).
There are always pros and cons, and a good UX designer knows how to find inspiration even in terrible apps 😊

Perfect timing with this video as I'm currently in the TRENCHES 🥵putting together my portfolio and no lies were told when you said this is the most depressing part of the process. It feels like it's never-ending. This video gives me hope that it's worth the effort, and a new perspective on considering working with an agency.

Girl, your first project about makeup - wooow, it was amazing! I loved it, and I'll totally protect it!

[MarcialHeredia]

I feel this video as my own, you tell so many truths that I live firsthand. I am working on my new portfolio to get back into design after a 1 year break, and I will watch this video as many times as necessary until I get a new job.

Girl! Your energy is amazing, I’m watching with a smile! You actually gave me a motivation to believe that I am able to find my dream job! Thank you! And your work is perfect! ❤

[lorenabarradass]

Hey, I just need to be your friend! I watched the whole video screaming "Oh, she's impressive, funny and brave!" Love your energy.

[OsvaldoOsorio]

Gongrats, your advices area really at the point. And I love how you talk about your process. Really impressed by your decision to take the challenge of life and get stronger and proud of yourself.

I absolutely love this video. I literally permanently pinned your video tab on my browser. I have been in bit of a UI design rut. I really liked your tips and it triggered something in my thought process. Hopefully I will end up making a good portfolio. Will definitely keep visiting this video for inspiration and motivation.

I loved bumping into your video! Thanks for sharing your work and congrats your designs look so beautiful!

[jazzenthuiagirl]

You've got all these beautiful graphics that show stuff on phones and on screens and stuff, like for your S'wear project in red and white. How did you create those mockups? Is it with a program? Thank you so much for your helpful video! Subscribed and I'll look through your other videos later. Thank you. I'm designing my first portfolio after being a solopreneur for physical not technical products and I have so much analysis paralysis and regret that I never really kept records of websites and products or anything that I created. I just designed stuff, had it made, marketed it and sold it. Now I'm looking to work for a company and I wish I had kept better records. All you young folks out there have everything so beautifully displayed to market yourself and your creations. I'm trying my best but I'm just overwhelmed. Anyhow, thank you and keep going with the great content!

Your video is so motivating, thank you. I am just studying and a bit nervous about future.

[Skanda___]

Please make a follow-along video of doing a project and adding it into a portfolio. would help students such as myself!

[suchanasubedi]

Could you talk more about how you created your portfolio? Especially the final one, the one that got you hired, like what software you used. I think it was Figma but just having issues trying to figure out how to make the screen scroll like you have. Love this video.

Hey, first comment! Thank you so much for sharing! I've just finished my bootcamp and struggling with my portfolio. Once I'm done I would love to have you review it if you have time! Thank you! Good luck with the channel!

[eleratalks]

I love your personality, oh yeah the video helped me

[larosadesierta]

Thank you for sharing. I’m just getting into this area. I’m also a Telavivian ❤

great insight for those looking for their entry level positions. Great value 🙂 i will say tho, it can be risky to personalize your (by your i mean whoever is reading this, not the videocreator herself) portfolio too much. i did so with my first portfolio and i got lots of leads from a lot of headhunters etc but they all said the same thing: ”unpersonalize” it and make it valuable. It is sad to say, but most companies wont choose a portfolio based on it, but they most definetly can turn one away because of it. Showcase your personality in the interview, thats what its for ..to see if you are a fit with the company 👍 This is not meant as criticism, just friendly advice to keep in mind 👍

[larosadesierta]

shalom...me again. I have watched your video again after I had finished my UX design google course. I'm now working on my portfolio and I want to ask you a few questions if I may. What platform did you choose for your portfolio? (and why?) Is it worthwhile asking design companies for unpaid experience? I thought to knock on doors and ask if there is a part time opportunity to be part of the UX team (even if observing) for a short term?

[designwithoptimus]

woow! thank you for the tips, I love it... please can I get a portfolio review?

Hi, when you were freelancing, how did you implement website designs? Did you provide only the design (and the client had a developer to code)? Did you have a friend to do it or did you do it yourself?
